That is a terrible decision to put Daequan Cook into the game. He is an undersized two guard who provides nothing but shooting ability. He is a defensive liability and liability on the backboards.

Playing him alongside a small backcourt in a matchup against a big physical two guard like Marquis Daniels who has a strong post game ... is a very poor decision.

  • Thank you Eddie!
Am I the only person who watches Rondo this season who wants to keep track every game whether or not he's on pace to break Stockton's single season record?  ESPN should have a tracker for this sort of thing.

seeing the way Quisy and Nate are playing tonight (well Nate's shooting anyways) really makes me look forward to Delonte's return.  they'll be a very nice bench rotation in a few games.

And now Boston goes bigger with Pierce coming in for Nate.

That mismatch just became much larger.

Late in the season? Yes. Say the final 25-30 games.

Start of the season? I have no interest.

  • The Truth
OKC is making contested shots right now, while we are getting everything we want, if our defense keeps up, we are watching a blowout in a making...

No Jeff Green + James Harden benched (coach's decision)

Difficult to lose all that offense (3rd + 4th best offensive players) for a mediocre offensive team like the Thunder.

Not sure how much of a loss Jeff Green is offensively.  Other than getting to the line, he's been very poor offensively, especially against good defensive teams.

Russ Westbrook is an amazing rebounder.  Like Rondo with 30 more pounds and 2 more inches.

Nice!

Put em' away, C's!

No late game heroics from OKC, please.

I cannot stomach 3 OTs in a row :)

Quick half. Or is time just all messed up from the clock change.
